Vegetable oil prices declined after the August WASDE raised US 2024/25 soybean planted area to 87.1 million acres and production to 4.589 billion bushels, with world soybean ending stocks revised up to 134.30 million tonnes. US farmers are selling to clear storage, adding pressure on soybean and oil prices.
Bigger US supplies and higher world stocks point to weaker soybean and soyoil prices, while a firmer dollar also weighs on dollar-denominated oilseed values.
